Seleka

Seleka-CPSK-CPJP-UFDR is an alliance of rebel militia factions in the Central African Republic led by Michel Djotodia from 2012. It was created to oust President Francois Bozize from power after he seized control of the country in a 2003 military coup.

History
Seleka was created on 15 September 2012 by Michel Djotodia, who wanted to overthrow the corrupt President Michel Djotodia. The anti-Bozize resistance was primarily composed of Muslims, although the group did not have any stated grievances against other religious groups. Despite this, when Djotodia came to power as President of the Central African Republic in 2013, the Seleka militants ran wild across the country and plundered villages, massacring Christians and Bozize supporters. On 28 May 2014, Uganda declared war on Seleka after they massacred 11 people at the Church of Fatima in Bangui after a grenade attack, as Uganda blamed them for trading minerals and ivory and sending food and medicine to the Lord's Resistance Army.
